Carolyn Talks 'Mārama' with Filmmaker Taratoa Stappard

In this episode of #CarolynTalks, I speak with MĀRAMA Maori filmmaker Taratoa Stappard about his path to making this goth horror his debut feature and homage to Indigenous culture, history, and women, working with lead actress Ariārna Osborne to discover her character Mary, and Taratoa reconnecting to his own heritage through his research for the film.

#Mārrama co-stars Toby Stephens, Umy Myers, Erroll Shand, Mihi Te Rauhi Daniels
